New York Sun.
General Averill, the Union cavalry leader, tells
an interesting story of the first time he ever saw
Ulysses S. Grant 1t WAS in 1857, while General
Averiii WAS on his way to join his regiment in
west of st. LOUIS leave was given him to go
back for a few days. He had to wait nearly

When he reached the gate he halted

meet him. After an earnest conversation the

to fhe porch he remarked. ''Averill, would you

THAT'S old Ulysses Grant, of the Fourth In

to be employed as commissary clerk to drive the
beef cattle and issue the rations while we
crossing the plains. I couldn't employ him."
General Averill supplements this story of his
first glimpse at the coming Union commander
with another about his last meeting with the
federate commander, Lee. 1t on April I6,
